Please see our troubleshooting guide on Launching Browsers

@geyuqiu Could you run Cypress in debug mode specifically logging cypress:launcher logs and run cypress info and print the entire set of logs here?

Relevant logs involving Firefox:

cypress:launcher checking one browser firefox +1ms
cypress:launcher looking up firefox on linux platform +0ms
cypress:launcher finding version string using command "firefox --version" +0ms
cypress:launcher stdout: Running without a11y support!
Mozilla Firefox 68.5.0esr +75ms
cypress:launcher Could not extract version from Running without a11y support!
Mozilla Firefox 68.5.0esr using regex /^Mozilla Firefox ([^\sab]+)$/ +1ms
cypress:launcher Received error detecting browser binary: "firefox" with error: Browser not installed: firefox +0ms
cypress:launcher browser firefox not installed +0ms

So, it seems to be saying -

Could not extract version from "Running without a11y support! Mozilla Firefox 68.5.0esr"

@geyuqiu Did you rename your Firefox application to "Running without a11y support! Mozilla Firefox"?

flotwig · 2020-03-12T16:05:24Z

Looks like firefox --version is including an unexpected line of output ("Running without a11y support!") which is breaking the regex because it's not multiline.

I think adding m to the Firefox versionRegexes should work around this.

cypress-bot · 2020-03-12T20:44:46Z

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#6712, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

I didn't rename firefox as you suggested. What is the current status, ready to release but not yet released ? @flotwig @jennifer-shehane

bahmutov · 2020-03-16T13:54:56Z

@geyuqiu it means we have merged the fix into develop branch but have not published a new version of Cypress yet. Should be published later today as 4.2.0

cypress-bot · 2020-03-16T20:40:08Z

Released in 4.2.0.
